Here is my entire playlist about the United States: th-cam.com/play/PLq-_cmf3H6yoRYg-ZZSFNFo4dBKxg85JC.html
I'm one of the two people who lives in Delaware
I am the second
Joe Biden was a the third but he moved
@Jim Marsh I’m in North Carolina And no he can stay
@Jim Marsh Why would we boot someone with a 52% approval rating. Do you conservatives ever think?
Stay!!!!
I can't see how Arizona's isn't #1. Simple, yet interesting and striking, even at a distance. Maryland's is a close second.
Agreed.
YeS!
Oklahoma has the best flag.
Maryland's state flag is definitely not lame. It is beautiful, unique and steeped in the state's long history. Nevada's state flag is lame because it has the ubiquitous blue as a background color when a more appropriate color would be sage green.
Robert Preskop Thank you. The flag of Maryland represents the Calvert-Crossland families Calvert family founders of Maryland and my ancestors. 😀
@@robinshafer4160 do you agree with me on the Nevada state flag?
Robert Preskop Sage green would be cool for Nevada.
@@robinshafer4160 your opinion on the Baltimore city flag. I think it is beautiful along with their ornate City Hall.
I’m from Maryland and seeing it about 25 times a day I’m sick of it
BEST:
Maryland (home state bias)
New Mexico
South Carolina
Honorable Mentions:
Oklahoma
Wyoming
Yeah but how many stars in their flags?
You forgot Arizona
thank you for including my state 😁
new mexico is kinda bad no offense
@@sahilkumar_home9085 shut up
I like Rhode Island’s flag. Simple and elegant. The anchor is a symbol of hope, and hope is a word that is everywhere up there including bridges, islands, villages and a prominent street on the east side in Providence, there was even a local department store with that name included
So insightful
The arm and hammer on the Wisconsin flag also represents baking soda
What does baking soda represent if I dare ask?
Yes, baking soda is their #2 export (after cheese).
I always enjoy your presentations and great sense of humor. Keep it up!
Wait, New Jersey flag does have stars. There are six visible on the beanie, or Liberty Hat or whatever.
The beanie is Tim Pool's.
Also Florida
The information on the flags was outstanding!!! Great information and very amusing too. A new dimension to history.
Great glad it helped lend perspective!
Maine needs a lobster on it.
Lobstah
I love South Carolina’s flag❣️ It doesn’t have a star, but it has better, the moon. 🌙🌴
I live in Maryland and think we have the coolest flag - you do see it everywhere, most have a crab on their car with state flag pattern. 😊
If Texas is so proud why did they jack North Carolina😂
Texas is the best state, so no one cares about that
TheOzForce interesting fact: take away the blue part from N.C. flag and it’s basically the Indonesia flag 🇮🇩
@@theozforce8058 Someone is from Texas. Hahahahaha.
@@InvaderKush damn bro, how'd you know
TheOzForce I got Texandar, being from NM. We can sense y’all. 😂😂
8 best imo
1. Texas (I'm a Texan myself)
2. Arizona
3. Colorado
4. Arkansas
5. Indiana
6. California
7. New Mexico
8. Oklahoma
Not bad :)
Where is tennesee
10:00 “Oro y Plata” actually means “Gold and Silver”, not the other way around. 🤗
uwiblue. AU & AG.
As a marylander, I can say that our flag is the best. Hands down.
The only state I see with the flag in practically any shape you can think of, animals, etc. It’s pretty fun
Virginia has a better flag
Mississippi has changed their flag since you made this video. It is the Magnolia State so it has the flower on its flag. My friend was born and raised there and supported the change.
Love the video! Great job as usual! Love the return of Miiiiiiike's Bar-B-Q! LoL!
PS - Did you get just emails from last week?
I did that was all very helpful, Ria! I'll send you the draft for the next one in a day or two :)
The best state flags have no letters or words on the design, although Colorado and Ohio are noteworthy exceptions. The really good flags have a fairly simplistic design that can be seen at a distance with the flag flying in the wind. The worst flags have the state seal on a blue background. IMO, the best State flag is New Mexico and the worst is Nebraska. (My favorite flag, however, is Ohio, but that’s partially because I used to live there. 😁)
Outback Igloo Oregon’s flag is double sided!
Ohio doesn’t have an attractive flag, yet it’s original and unique.
Alaska has the best 💛💙
states with an icon and blue background are unoriginal
I love the Colorado flag!
And no I don’t live there
I live in Maryland and There’s a ton of Maryland flags everywhere
I bear the Maryland pride wherever I go.
US: How many stars are required to be on your flag?
Missouri: Yes
Haha true
Missouri Gang
@@swampdonkey1567 lets go
Is that Bigfoot? That was hilarious 😂!
That got me too 😂😂😂
Ohio’s Flag: the red and white stripes represent the rivers and roads. The circle represents a buckeye, as Ohio is known for. The blue triangle represents the hills and valleys. The 13 stars grouped on the left represent the 13 original states of the U. S. Altogether, there are 17 stars. Representing Ohio being the 17th state to join the union.
Cool good to know. Which flag is your favorite?
The more stars the better! (Lol) I love how you mix humor into your content, that’s why I subscribed!
This was very serious!!
@@NickJohnson I never had a dought!
NORTH CAROLINA REP!!!! Also you shouted out Goldsboro once... THANK YOU
As an Illinoisan, thank you!
Sam Shipley Wouldn’t it be a sunrise on Lake Michigan? I think Nick said it would be a sunset. Just wanted to confirm that with someone who lives in Illinois.
@@orbitallevel6749 Truth be told, I'm not too sure! I think it might be up to interpretation.
Sam Shipley Hello Neighboring State.
im from Illinois and yes it is a the sun on the horizon of lake Michigan
not sure if it is a sunset though
I live next door in Indiana & I agree with Illinois’s flag being the best.
My favorite part is the response nick gets when asking about flag experts 😂
I love how you rank the worst flags the coolest
South Carolina is the coolest flag.
It's pretty amazing.
I agree! I am biased, as my Mother's from South Carolina and I lived there for three years! Now that I think about it, I miss South Carolina!
Agreed
I live in SC and it’s cool I agree
for me its Maryland, but South Carolina is hella awesome too.
My top five are
South Carolina
Texas
Oklahoma
Maryland
Colorado
Honorable mentions go to California, New Mexico, and Tennessee
Hey Nick! The North Carolina stage flag looks very similar to the Texas stage flag!
The Mississippi flag has 13 stars not 12
He can't count.
The new one is a magnolia
Maryland's flag is tight! that's why it has a good score Nick!!
Illinois and Indiana
MIKES BARBECUE
Miiiiiiiiikee
thank you for putting Illinois high on the list!
Nick, I should know better than to watch your videos when my asthma is flaring up, because to laugh is to go into occasional coughing spells. This is brilliant and hilarious. Can't say that I agree with the rankings - I think that Maryland's rules, followed by Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Washington State ... but that's what's so great about variety and diversity.
haha sorry to hurt you :) I guess maryland's isn't too bad, and I knew people would hate on me for that.
What's your favorite state flag? Let us know in the comments below!
Nick Johnson My State Missouri.
O-H-I-O!! That State Flag represents on my homestate!
New Mexico
Wyoming
Definitely Utah !!
Well done Nick !
"Is that Bigfoot?". 8:28. LOL. Nice video. This is actually pretty informative.
South Carolina Girl here!
15:51 I like the beehive. It makes Utah unique.
I, too, like the beehive! Bees are our friends. They pollinate and make yummy honey. Bees are cool! 😊
@@jerryhorn4697 They changed the flag.
California flags design is literally better than most of the states. The rest are unoriginal and most only have the seal on them.
I agree, Cali flag is the best
Absolutely!
Yes sir!!!
Ivan Cervera South Carolina’s is much better
Aesysique forget shirts the flag is better, California is just more well known around the world
Alaska's flag is the prettiest! The song explains our flag.
Missouri has 61 stars, on the shield there is an eagle holding a shield with 13 stars representing the 13 colonies
Nick, you are so awesome. I am so glad you have your own channel. I think it is amazing. LOL
The top three flags I like is New Mexico Alaska and then Washington State
#1 any state flag with a dark blue background
I love my home state of Louisiana the pelican state flag and my second home of Wisconsin state flag!
Louisianas flag is how you do a "seal on a bedsheet" flag correctly
I’m glad you notice Michigan and think we have a nice flag I’m like a German but about Michigan
I agree
1.The cross on the Alabama flag represents Saint Patrick.
2. The Hawaiian flag was the flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii. They already had a flag before they were annexed, so they kept it. They were forced into the U.S., they should at least get to keep their old flag without getting a bunch of flack for it.
3. The name of Hawaii's king is pronounced Kah-may-hah-may-hah.
4. There is not a Sasquatch on the Michigan flag, but there is a man holding a gun.
5. The beehive in the Utah flag represents Mormons and how they are supposed to cooperate with each-other (like bees do).
Cool! You should make a video too!
@@NickJohnson Thanks! That's a good idea. I appreciate your videos on cities. I hope to move in the next few years, and they've helped me know where not to go.
Whoa! I get your joke about the grass being on fire on the California state flag but I live in wine country where the terrifying Tubbs fire happened 2 years ago. I was fortunate enough to only have my internet down when the fires happened. I personally know someone who lost his home.
I did enjoy the other jokes you made about some other states though. Like the one about how people go through Kansas to go to the West. Although I imagine with how expensive it is getting here in California, a lot of people might actually go to Kansas just because it's so much cheaper.
Sly88Frye. makes sense..
very interesting, nice to know about each states flag.
The diamond on the Arkansas flag is because Arkansas is the only state in the union that has a diamond mine.
“…the French flag and some duct tape!” I vote that the best joke of the video.
Mississippi has subsequently changed their flag. It now has a magnolia blossom on it.
Thanks, I got that Utah song stuck in my head that I used to sing back in fourth grade 😂
Me too Tyler. I got quite a few of em playing over and over in my brain. At least Utah has a decent one. Most state anthems are bad.
@@NickJohnson I listen to all state songs
3:55 AJ Almendinger's car what a legit choice for a flag
“Kamahamaweah”
If you can’t pronounce the name of King Kamehameha, I wish you luck pronouncing our state fish.
Our state fish is the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa.
Hahaha!
Maryland and South Carolina can be swapped for 1and2
WHAT?! THE MARYLAND FLAG IS AMAZING!!!
I'm from North Carolina too!
love the cotent
love the content
love the content
oh no.. mike is back.. I love his bbq 😝
Alaska, Iowa, South Carolina, North Dakota, Arizona are my faves.
We Calvert’s think Maryland flag rocks. Oklahoma rocks too.
17:47 -- state that stands out the most is clearly Arizona! Can't argue with that (along with Texas and New Mexico).
The vines on Connecticut’s flag symbol:
Either the first 3 towns or the 3 colonies that made up Connecticut.
Wow someone actually watched that video.
Happy 4th Nick
I've watched bloody everything this dude has made 🇦🇺
Favorite flag is my home state Illinois. Our eagle is bada$$
Old Maine Volunteer Infantry flag is cool
Gotta respect the iconic Texas flag
If I remember correctly, as a South Carolinian myself, the reason why we have the palmetto tree on the flag is because one of our forts, perhaps Fort Sumter, was made with palmetto trees, and helped stopped the cannonball fire from the British redcoats in the Revolutionary War, providing more than enough protection for the colony's army stationed there.
If you remember correctly? You either do or you don’t. You certainly wasted a lot of time spelling out a fabled tale you question is even correct when I google search would verify it in seconds proving either or of which you obviously could care less. Wow. Next time just don’t comment & save us time.
@@cme98 Wow and you wasted even more time responding to them! The only time you wasted was yours, while posting your whiney drivel. Let me guess, you wear a mask while driving by yourself in your Prius?
New Jersey really missed the boat ... Flag should be a Giant Smoke Stack in the Center with a Toll Booth on the Left and a Pizzeria on the Right ... with the words emblazoned on a Turnpike Sign "Eat Your Vegetables For I Give Yeah A Crack"
Point of correction Wyoming has one star on the shield
Why is AJ ALLMENDINGER'S 2018 KROGER CAR on one of the thumbnail flags? Clearly, who ever made that flag is an AJ ALLMENDINGER fan.
I love your voice!!!
It almost looks like Pink Floyd used the art in the Kentucky flag for Wish You Were Here lol.
Now do city flags.
Chicago's is really great.
Nyc flag is terrible
As a new Yorker we have a good flag, excelsior means ever upward and that's what we're about. That, pizza, wings and bagels
Damn it, Nick! You don't mention Indiana much, but when you do, it's a doozy. Yes, we have a lot of Wal-Marts here. Our flag does look a lot like their company logo, which I didn't realize until you brought it up. Now I can't unsee it. Also, where is Mappy's cousin, "Flaggy," for videos like this one?
Oh man that would have been a good idea. Mappy has a few friends, but needs more. Tomorrow, Mappy has a special new friend joining him. I lived in Indiana for a while.
Wyoming and cali have the coolest
The Illinos flag looks like the Mexican flag
Arizona's flag is super cool. It's Alive!!!
I live in Illinois. My state officially has the best flag in the USA. (According to Homesnacks). Also why is a homesnacks vid on this channel?
cause :)
That Wyoming flag has 1 tiny blue star in the middle and you said it didn't it does
My favorite is, of course, South Carolina’s flag.
Thanks for Utah love man at someone outside of the state cares
When I’m a grown-up I’m gonna add a new state and design the flag
Did you use a photo editing software to add the benie to the staph?
Utah has the Bee Hive because it's known as the Bee Hive state! So of course it hasto include a Bee Hive! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Obviously the flag people prefer the plain symbols. Those match our road signs. I like the storybook imagery...people and animals and sunsets and water and banners with words and yes, 🌟 ⭐ 🌟!
Interesting!
12:12 it’s unique
This is one example of why you shouldn't depend on Wikipedia as an authority. Though a small portion of what is now Alabama (around Mobile Bay) was ruled by the Spanish for a relatively brief period, the present Alabama state flag has absolutely nothing to do with any Spanish flag; the similar barbed-cross Spanish flag is simply a coincidence. The actual inspiration for the Alabama state flag, adopted in 1895, is somewhat murky. Most local historians hold the flag was inspired by a the Civil War battle flag of an Alabama regiment in which a prominent member of the Alabama legislature once served.
Great job and most enjoyable! However, for what it's worth, Mississippi had a public referendum some years back and voted heavily in favor of keeping the flag. States rights forever!
@@BAYAREA_PizzaParty; Thank you for reading my comment and your reply. However, I must disagree with your statement that the South rebelled. That's the word the panic-stricken north used when the South wouldn't take anymore s**t from the tyrants. There's a world of difference between a rebellion and a secession. The South felt they had a Constitutional Right to separate itself from the Union. Many still do. The north disagreed and therefore, the Civil War began. I somewhat agree with your statement about traitors. Where we differ is you believe Southerners are traitors and I believe California is the most traitorous state in the Union!
Just exactly which laws are you talking about?
It's so ironic. It's usually the states chanting "states' rights" that are the most dependent on federal dollars to remain afloat. It's like a child chanting autonomy in his parents' house. It's quite amusing.
Ohio’s flag is the coolest by far!
Most of US state flags are horrible, no offense. Using lettering or seals on a flag doesn’t even make it look like a flag.
Might wanna update about Mississippi as the flag now has a magnolia flower on it
Waaaiiiittttt..... if you remove the thing on Geogia's flag canton, it's.... WOAH.
My home state, Florida has a St. Andrews Cross, just like Alabama and the Confederate battle flag. It's just a matter of time until the liberals realize it's there and make us change it.
Where in Florida are you from?
Oh, people realize it, but the current consensus is that the Alabama and Florida flags' design are far enough removed from the Confederate battle flag's to not warrant making a stink about.
John Fl is my home state too.Liberal jackasses need to leave things alone!!
People in the St. Louis area must be proud of this video LOL
So you're gonna leave out KC?
